The Amazing Race - Page 4

The roadblock was that they had to change the tires on a race car and then do a lap aroound the track. Chuch had a little panic attack and almost didn't do it. But screaming Millie convinced him to get in. Then they all drove to some city in France and ended up at this gate that didn't open until the next morning. Six of the teams slept in their cars so they could be in line for tomorrow. The next morning the models and Chip & Reichen skipped ahead of everybody b/c the gate keepers said they could. That pissed of the other teams and they confronted the skippers. There was a big argument mainly led by the air traffic controllers (who have been nicknamed the BFG's-Big Fat Guys-by Kelly). Chip and Reichen backed down and went to the back of the line. But the models stayed. Then at the last minute the models let everyone go ahead of them. The detour was that they had to repel down this mountain. The models took the fast forward and came in first at the end. Followed by the Virgins and the Clowns (tied for 2nd). The NFL wives were 4th. Reichen and Chip came in 5th. They made a huge mistake and took a wrong path. Jeff and David were 6th. Jon and Kelly were 7th. The air traffic controllers were 8th. And the father and son team came in last. They argued the whole time. But at the end they were all mushy and huggy. Kinda lame. The funniest moment was when Kelly nicknamed Millie, "Millie the Mole"--b/c of the huge mole on her face. Too funny. There was a bunch of other arguments as usual. But that's the gist of the episode.

Okay, a recap... (SPOILER for those who haven't seen it!) (edited to add: Geoff, you beat me to it! )

They started off leaving from the last pit stop and headed to Paris, where they had to make their way to Le Mans and complete a roadblock (Change tires and drive with a driver one lap around a racetrack). Once completed, they headed down to Marseilles, where they had to go to this Porte 4, which when the first teams got there, was closed and they couldn't park there overnight. The first two teams left and got hotel rooms, and the other teams were told they could park along the side of the road. In the morning, the two teams came to the gate and were told to park up by the gate (in front of the other teams)....DRAMA ENSUES! The two teams felt their integrity was being questioned, so they allowed the teams parked on the side of the road to go ahead of them. They had to find a lighthouse which would take them to their next clue (somewhere really far away and a small town I've never heard of). When they arrived they had to park in a marked lot and get their next clue, which was a detour (either rappelling or a hike). Once they completed it, they would continue to the next Pit Stop, some sort of Chateau that was another drive from their detour. Tian and Jaree went for the fast forward, and arrived at the Pit stop first....Steve and Josh were the last team to arrive (a lot later than the other teams).

I think that there should have been a take a number system at that gate overnight, since Reichen and Chip and Tian and Jaree did get there before everyone else and were told they couldn't park there. I think it was noble of them to let the others go ahead of them, but I probably wouldn't have (maybe

)

I CAN'T believe how DUMB Reichen and Chip are. Hello, clue says to park in the marked PARKING LOT, and Chip pulls onto the side of the road. I'm glad they weren't eliminated, but it looked pretty close for a while!

Models need to go home...maybe next week is the week???? (oh please oh please OH PLEASE!!!!

)

We missed eachother by minutes polarpi. I was pissed at Chip too. That was so not the the right parking lot. They could have come in 2nd if it wasn't for that. I seems like all the other teams hate them, but I want them to win. It looks like the models might screw themselves over next week. But I wouldn't mind if Millie the Mole and Chuck got eliminated. I agree with Kelly that she's just too damn perky.

polarpi · #49 06-20-2003, 12:57 AM

Heck yeah she's too perky! Maybe it's the whole virgin thing....but that's not a side effect of her condition!

I think Reichen and Chip could've even come in first if it wasn't for the mishap of the parking lot. Tian and Jaree were really far behind, and Reichen and Chip were ahead of Kelly and Jon when they were heading to the detour.

A HUGE thank you to GeoffZ and polarpi for recap-ing the episode. I feel as though I watched it myself!!

Next week looks extremely funny with the models having a GIANT cat fight in the boat. Their biggest problem is each other.

I was ROFLMAO when she kept calling Millie, "Millie the Mole".

The models downfall will definitely be themselves.

It was too funny how every time she said Millie the Mole, they did a closeup of Millie's mole.

I was tickled when Chip & Reichen called the NFL wives the Supremes.

The air traffic control guys really don't deserve to be named the Big Fat guys. They are trying and they are a lot older than a lot of them. Maybe I'm biased because they are from Chicago.

valkyrie · #53 06-20-2003, 01:13 PM

I can't believe how catty some of these contestants are! First of all, the air traffic controlers are by far my favorite team, and it pisses me off that they're being called BFGs. They are sweetie pies! I think Richen and Chip need to go -- I'm so sick of their attitude and I think calling the NFL wives the Supremes was completely inappropriate and almost offensive. The models don't bother me too much, but if that engaged couple doesn't break up soon, they're going to be in for a world of hurt -- all they do is bicker, bicker, bicker.

I was so sad when the father/son team came in last place. I liked them.

I don't think they were trying to be offensive. I think it came from the fact the NFL wives called themselves Team Supreme.

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! i missed the show tonight, but my sister told me that the air traffic controllers got eliminiated!!!!! wahooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GeoffZ · #56 06-27-2003, 12:26 AM

It sucks that the air traffic controllers got eliminated. It should have been the models. I was hoping they would just quit and spare us. I was also hoping they would leave Millie the Mole strapped to that windmill!! I'm still rooting for Reichen & Chip and Team Supreme. It looks like there's gonna be drama next week in India.

polarpi · #57 06-27-2003, 12:28 AM

Noooooo....I was so close to doing a happy dance that the models were going home, and they beat the Air Traffic guys to the Pit Stop!!!!!

I hope either the models or the virgins go home next week....I'm SO SICK of both of those teams!!!!

valkyrie · #58 06-27-2003, 12:37 AM

Oh sad! I missed tonight's episode but am so bummed to hear that the air traffic controllers were eliminated. They were my favorite team!

GeoffZ · #59 07-04-2003, 12:40 AM

Tonight's episode was pretty good. I wanted the NFL Wives to do better and not get eliminated, but oh well. Suprisingly, the models didn't get on my nerves. They actually worked together--what a concept. I agree with Kelly that being on that train would be a nightmare. I can't believe Chuck didn't have a panic attack on there. Looking at the previews, I wonder if Millie is gonna overhear Kelly talking smack about her mole--or maybe the producers just want us to think that. It's funny either way cause that thing is huge.

Sistermadly · #60 07-04-2003, 01:06 AM

Yay! No more Supremes! I can watch the show again!
